Erhai (Lake Er)

Dali, China

Erhai (Lake Er) — places to visit in Dali
Erhai (Lake Er) in Dali — view 2
Erhai Lake, also known as Lake Er, is a large freshwater lake situated in Dali, Yunnan province, surrounded by stunning mountain ranges and bustling agricultural villages. Covering approximately 250 square kilometres, it plays a vital role in the region's ecology and culture, serving as a critical habitat for migratory birds and a source of life for local communities. Exploring the lakeside, visitors can enjoy picturesque walking paths and charming fishing villages that dot the shore. The area is particularly beautiful in spring and autumn when wildflowers bloom or the foliage turns vibrant. Early mornings often bring a sense of calm, with local fishermen casting their nets against the backdrop of the misty mountains.

    “Bruce Tang, our consultant, was exceptional. I highly recommend Bruce. We completed a 12-day tour of Yunnan, including time in Guilin and Yangshuo. Bruce was quick to reply and offered great suggestions while we planned our itinerary, which featured several fantastic bullet train rides. Our driver was excellent; we always felt secure, and despite the language barrier, we communicated effectively. Each town we visited had a guide, with quality ranging from outstanding to excellent. I will definitely turn to Bruce for future trips to China and will recommend him to friends.”— Wrenander on the Seven-day Yunnan old towns and mountain scenery tour tour
